GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think I need a theme to trigger my costume idea brainstorming process.
I'm going to be a devil, simply because I want to wear my flamey corset (overbust, black leather with red flames). I have devil horns, and red-and-black striped tights, and a red petticoat to wear over a black petticoat. And black stompy boots. I just need to buy a trident of some sort (I was harshly reprimanded by a friend when I called it a pitchfork; I didn't know people had such strong feelings on the devil's accessories) and maybe red sparkly eyeshadow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My father says thank you for the birthday wishes.
Happy birthday to the other thirteenth babies.
My sister has informed me that I don't understand the Kayapo like an anthropologist would, but, honestly, her student still sucks.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

My daughter is looking at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pennsylvania. Any information or opinions you have about the college or the location - particularly about the winter weather (so far she's lived in Houston and the Oregon coast so her idea of cold and snow is a bit skewed) - would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, Jesse, he, not she. Please convey my apologies to your cat.
smonster, my noggin is healing as it should. After go-go-going the past week, I spent today resting, in preparation for my marathon travel day on Saturday. I found that if I roll onto my back in the middle of the night and the weight of my head presses on the injury site, I get a very brief wave of dizziness and nystagmus. But I've started using my travel neck pillow so that doesn't happen anymore.
ETA: oh, and France is KICKASS. More later! Though it's all winding down. Tomorrow we return our rental car to Beziers and pack, etc. And then we leave at 4:00 am Sat. to drive four hours (in B.'s rental car) to Barcelona. Then home.
As for Halloween, I'm not going to have a party this year. Usually, I have a theme chosen months in advance, as you know. I'm just not ready!
Congrats, ChiKat, that's so cool!
Kathy, I'm glad nothing too bad happened, re: the paper

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Lake effect snow" means lots of it, right? I was afraid of that.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday, birthday people!

It's not as frequent or consistent as it is on the UP, and it can be very localized, but when it does happen, it can be really bad.
I was disappointed the whole time I spent in college in Rochester, there weren't any big snowfalls. But I was happy I was out of town the time it snowed in May, and extremely relieved that I missed the killer ice storm.
